Kyle Pitts Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is coming off of the best game of his career back in Week 5 against the Jets. Pitts caught nine passes, including his first career touchdown, while exceeding the century mark in yards. The budding star operated as an effective downfield target for Matt Ryan, who has raised his play in recent weeks. That's good news for Pitts, who faces a Dolphins defense that ranks 26th in pass DVOA this year. Even with Calvin Ridley back in the fold, Pitts makes for an easy TE1 in a game that could turn into a track meet.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts caught nine of 10 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Pitts burst onto the scene in London with his best game as a pro, putting the Falcons on the board with his first career touchdown in the opening quarter. The rookie took advantage of the available targets left behind by Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle), making several highlight-reel plays downfield. It's clear that Pitts' athleticism and receiver-like skills will serve him well regardless of matchup and if Ridley and Gage are available or not. Pitts is trending upward heading into the Week 6 bye.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts could be poised for the best game of his young NFL career in Week 5 against the Jets. Pitts has seen the seventh-most targets among tight ends, though he has failed to do much with his opportunities, exceeding 50 yards just twice through four weeks while failing to find the end zone. The rookie should have another healthy helping of targets coming his way against the Jets with Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) sidelined. The Jets have a sneaky-good defense, but Pitss' talent and projected volume should help him win this matchup.
